Gynecomastia from Minoxidil?
Dear Sir/Madam
I have been using minoxidil for more than year and i am happy with it, since the results are great so far!I have been pretty concerned lately though, given that i seem to be developing some kind of gynecomastia. Perhaps it is due to high levels of prolactine (just a guess)… Could minoxidil increase the level of prolactine and thus lead to gynecomastia?
Thanks a lot in advance
There are many possible causes of gynecomastia and you should certainly see a doctor to rule them out. I have answered the question of minoxidil and gynecomastia before, and there is no connection between the two that I’m aware of.
Yes! this is very true and I posting here to confirm it. I am using topical solution (oil for hair) which is named DR.Reddy’s Mintop Forte Minoxidil Topical Solution 5% and a tablet called FINAST 5 or 10 9(I can’t figure name exactly) and I am victim of Gynechomastia and both thing started same time and one part of my chest looks very weird or abnormal.
The first thing I did was stop using minoxidil solution and consulted a doctor who suggested me a capsule and gave some tables for 3 days. According to him, it will be fixed in 2-4 days or I’ll need surgery in harder case.
This thing was not exactly in my mind, but after diagnosis or my daily routine and with a Doctor friend I came to know about this situation.
